After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons squeaked past the Warriors 115-114. The tempo dragged the Warriors into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Warriors' stars took over and bent the game to their will. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
